    Congrats on the kit Scott!
    Hey, the other kit in the Partain trailer was my kit. I'm hoping to see it here in Michigan this week.
    Have fun on the build.

    Welcome to the club Scott. You're just down the hill from me so I can keep up with your build in person. However, a build log on this forum would be good.

    I thought so too at first but as I work on my kit I like that 90% of it is done by section. Makes it easier for me personally in the way I have things organized but to each his own I suppose.

    Took 6 hours to do the inventory yesterday. Only a couple of parts to go.

    I agree with Esser. I started to hang mine on the wall also and realized that most everything is boxed by section. It was much easier to look in one box than chase them on the wall.

    I guess what I'm thinking is that a 125 AN3-4a bolts in one container makes more sense than 25 bags containing different quantity of same. And cheaper too.

    There is an issue with those who buy just the wing sections and then the fuselage, etc.

    Ok, I'll shut up. Have had my say about how to make the product better.

    Sorry for the cell phone picture, but here is an update. I got my wings rigged. I needed to have a couple of friends come by to lift the wings onto the plane & help with some of the measurments.

    I Got my fuel tanks installed today. I used NPT plugs to seal the holes when rinsing the tanks with Acetone. Thought I would share that tip. The Strapping tape comes off pretty quick when the acetone hits it.

    Next I'm going to install the rest of the false ribs, then work on the leading edge kit.
